Fextralife...

:(

With new gear and changes included with patches/ and Dark Arisen Expansion, I think that Warfarer will be THE default vocation to play for various reasons:

• With increased stats of new weapons, decreased base stats caused by Warfarer vocation means a lot less. Presented in latest showcase magick bow has magick of 1076, compared to fully upgraded Elven Grianmhar 685 magick. (on side note - this makes me think that the relic gear is unupgradeable, because of sheer stat disparity between stock best weapons in the base game and expansion one).
• Level 3 skill versions and core skills/auguments are now linked to weapons. That means that other classes are limited with their selection of skills based on weapon they roll/find, and there's possibility that there won't be ideal rolls - meaning there will be some compromises to be had. Warfarer completely ignores that, making player use multiple weapons exploiting lvl3 weapon skills and core/auguments to their will.
• Unless we get new set of maister skills, or their upgraded version, inclusion of wider selection of skills and their upgrades makes them less impactfull than in full game.
• Most importantly, now with august patch we do get 2 additional skill slots, fixing main problem of warfarer - limited active skills. Now we get 5 skills instead of 3 which is a huge improvement and allows for much higher flexibility for warfarer. Sure there's speculation there could be auto-weapon swap function added based on red glow fighter arisen had on latest showcase, but let's leave it in realm of maybe. 5 skills is enough to create fancy combinations or make unique classes like Strider.
• Access to free Levitation for all classes is also very nice, especially when exploring new areas.

All points mentioned, makes me feel that Warfarer will be the default way to play dragons dogma 2 dark arisen. Of course that's just speculation and capcom could include some class specific core skills and auguments, but as for now - we haven't seen any.

ps. What are your plans on expansion, are you sticking with your main vocation or are you planing to do some fancy Warfarer unique class on your own? Im personally thinking about Ilusionist Strider with Bow/Daggers/Censer, to somewhat recreate strider from the first game and add smoke/illusion theme on top of it. Share your ideas!

I recently got DD2 for pc in order to play it with mods like Bestiary, Guild Contracts, and so on, but with the upcoming updates and Dark Arisen arriving soon I'm wondering if they may end up breaking my modded playthroughs once they arrive. What do you think, folks? Should I wait to install mods on my game?

If you are looking for a Sorcerer pawn, what skills are you looking for and what are the big no no to you?

Is it annoying when enemies get thrown in the air or fire rains from the sky? Or do you love the chaos?

Top 2 skills for you and 2 skills that will make you go "Absolutely not"

(Mind you I don't need stuff like inclination or specialization or if a pawn have a quest, just weapons skills)

Edit: Boy oh boy, I feel like I am learning wildly opposite things hehe

The other day I hired two pawns to replace the first ones I got. One was a lady archer, who I still have, and the other was Lord Chonk. Lord Chonk was a Thief, towered over my Arisen and other pawns, and looked like the kind of man who would kill you just for making eye-contact. But Lord Chonk was the sweetest of all my pawns, even my main. He sounded like a gentle anime protagonist. He had such nice things to say about everyone, and even though we weren't together for as long as my first pawns, we accomplished a heck of a lot together, enough that he once commented: "We're inseparable, aren't we?"

So you can imagine my HEARTBREAK, when all that comes to an end one day. We're making our way along the river line north towards Eini's house, when suddenly Lord Chonk tells me he knows where a treasure chest is. Happily I let him lead us there (Lord Chonk turned out to be the Font of All Knowledge when it came to hidden chests. He takes a left at a point where two bits of land jut out into the river on either side, allowing us to cross over onto the cliff opposite. There on a higher point is the chest, with a harpy guarding it. Lord Chonk immediately engages. There's not enough space for us all to tussle so I hang back with my other pawns. We watch helplessly as Lord Chonk goes airborne, impales the harpy, and drops into the water below. There's nowhere for him to escape. The brine takes him, leaving a dead harpy floating in the water.

I'm gutted. I never made him my favourite, but he was my favourite. I don't even remember what I got out of that chest, but it wasn't worth it.

RIP Lord Chonk. Please stop fighting on cliffs.

Hi i am currently looking for any rings of endeavor and would greatly appreciate. If you have a moment to spare

Could anyone be kind enough to gift me a ring of endeavour so I can get my magick archer fully built. I would much appreciate it 💓. I’m on ps if that matters.
